4 Pre–Installation
4.1 Transport and storage
The air handling units are packaged for easy
handling and storage on the job site. Upon
delivery, inspect all components for possible
shipping damage. See the “Receiving
Checklist” section for detailed instructions. VTS
recommends leaving units and accessories in
their shipping packages/skids for protection and
handling ease until installation.
NOTICE! Packages onsite must be stored
on hardened, dry and protected against
any precipitation place.
Packages containing AHU elements
should be stored away from places where
operate mechanical devices (vehicles,
cranes and other construction machinery).
They should be stored in places where
they will not be subject to any mechanical
damages, humidity, aggressive chemical
agents, fluids, dusts and other external
agents which may deteriorate their
condition.
The AHUs have to be transported in their
working position and they shall not be stored
one on the other.
The units and their components should be
stored in rooms characterized by the following
conditions: relative humidity: φ< 80 % at t
(temperature) = 20ºC ambient temperature: –
40ºC < t < +60ºC – the devices should be out of
the reach of any caustic dust, gas or steam as
well as any other chemical substances which
may have pro–corrosive influence on the unit
and its components.
While storing the unit, its plastic packaging must
be unsealed.
4.1.1 Receiving Checklist
Complete the following checklist immediately after receiving unit shipment to detect possible shipping
damage.
Inspect individual crates before accepting.
Check for rattles, bent crates corners, or
other visible indications of shipping
damage.
If a unit appears damaged, inspect it
immediately before accepting the
shipment. Make specific notations
concerning the damage on the freight bill.
Do not refuse delivery.
Inspect the unit for concealed damage
before it is stored and as soon as possible
after delivery. Report concealed damage to
the freight line within the allotted time after
delivery. Check with the carrier for their
allotted time to submit a claim.
Do not move damaged material from the
receiving location. It is the receiver’s
responsibility to provide reasonable
evidence that concealed damage did not
occur after delivery.
Do not continue unpacking the shipment if
it appears damaged. Retain all internal
packing, cartons, and crate. Take photos of
damaged material if possible.
Notify the carrier’s terminal of the damage
immediately by phone and mail. Request
an immediate joint inspection of the
damage by the carrier and consignee.
Notify your VTS representative of the
damage and arrange for repair. Have the
carrier inspect the damage before making
any repairs to the unit.
Compare the electrical data on the unit
nameplate with the ordering and shipping
information to verify the correct unit is
received.
NOTICE!
Any damages caused by improper transportation, unloading or storage are not covered by the
Warrantee and any claims laid by way of aforementioned issues will not be examined by VTS.
